    | and the online services made available via our websites (collectively, “<strong>Ripple Trade</strong>”).  Ripple Trade allows you to interact directly with the decentralized
    | Ripple transaction protocol payment network (“<strong>Ripple Protocol</strong>”) to create a
    | Ripple Protocol wallet (“<strong>Ripple Wallet</strong>”). For your information, <a href="http://www.id.ripple.com">www.id.ripple.com</a> is an interface 
    | through which we collect your personally identifiable information (“PII”) for the purpose of identity verification.

  p We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time.  If we make changes, we will notify you by revising the date
    | at the top of the policy and, in some cases, we may provide you with additional notice (such as by
    | adding a statement to the homepage of our website or by sending you a notification).

    | Ripple name or Ripple public address of the recipient) when you send a balance via Ripple Trade; and
  p (3) an ID storage component, which includes contact and other identifiable information you provide about yourself
    | via Ripple Trade, including the email address you provide when first setting up a Ripple Wallet and any
